Mission: Power to the People

Once you've talked to Helena, you get this introductory mission. This is a pretty basic one, a scavenger hunt where the mission indicator shows the exact locations. The only slightly tricky one is the rooftop one, which you have to access by going up the stairs on the west of the building. Completing this will unlock Seek Out Tannis and you can skip ahead to that if you don't want to do optional missions. It will also unlock missions at the New Haven Bounty Board.

Mission: Claptrap Rescue: New Haven

Due north of Helena's office, you can find the New Haven Bounty Board, which should now have a bunch of missions on it. To the left is a blue Claptrap on his back in need of assistance. Talk to him. You can see the building where you need to head on the map. Go to the east side of the building and hop on the tires and on the red dumpster and then onto the roof. From here, hop east to the nearby roof, and then turn around. You should be able to see the kit on a ledge in easy jumping distance (pictured, right). He'll be so grateful, he'll open the way to a weapons chest.

Mission: Is T.K. O.K.?

West of Helena's office, there's a garage/Catch-a-Ride and a man sitting at a desk next to a vehicle. This is Scooter. He'll ask you to go check on T.K. That's a long way, but you have access to quick travel now, so go use that New-U station right nearby to transport to Fyrestone, and then it's just a short stroll to T.K.'s shack. He's inside.

Mission: Like a Moth to a Flame

While you're in the Badlands, you can do this mission, obtained from the New Haven Bounty Board. It's a tough one, but if you play it smart you can pull it off. There's a hill marked by your mission indicator with three torches surrounding a tree. Once all three are lit, the formidable flying monster Mothrakk will appear. Her main attack is to circle overhead and rain fireballs. This is very difficult to dodge (you pretty much have to sprint), so you need cover. The Catch-a-Ride nearby has a canopy that will do quite well, so hide here when her attacks begin. If you hide all the way in the back, you'll be protected, but if you're further in front you can still take damage, and the attacks get heavier and heavier as her health goes down. A good scoped weapon is needed to deal damage. A sniper rifle is probably your best bet, but if you have another good weapon with a scope, it can work. We even took her down with a shotgun.
